Week of December 19, 2014

Police Commission members this week decided they want Newtown Hook & Ladder Company No 1, the volunteer fire unit that serves the borough and adjacent areas, to provide a formal study to them on the traffic impact of having a planned new firehouse at 12 Church Hill Road. The commission is the local traffic authority. Shown at a December 16 Police Commission session are: Rob Manna of Hook & Ladder, standing at left, and seated, from left, Police Commission member Joel Faxon, Chairman Paul Mangiafico, commission member Virgil Procaccini, Jr, and Police Chief Michael Kehoe. A site plan for the firehouse project lies on the table. (Gorosko photo)
